Numbers 24:16-18
Easy-to-Read Version
16 I heard this message from God.
I learned what God Most High taught me.
I saw what God All-Powerful showed me.
I humbly tell what I clearly see.
17 “I see him coming, but not now.
I see him coming, but not soon.
A star will come from the family of Jacob.
A new ruler will come from the Israelites.
He will smash the heads of the Moabites
and crush the heads of all the sons of Sheth.[a]
18 Israel will grow strong!
He will get the land of Edom.
He will get the land of Seir,[b] his enemy.
